It wasn't the Westin, but then again, I paid over a $100 a night less than it. And got breakfast. Being right next to the airport was a very big consideration for me (Maho Beach was one of the reasons I went to St. Maarten), and staying within walking distance of it and the Airport was perfect for me (and... more

This is the type of place you hate to give a good review to , because you want to keep it all to yourselve. We stay here when we go to Saba ,another place you want to keep all to yourself. On our last trip we left our lap top charger in the room and before we arrived home Michelle... more

I stayed here twice in February before and after a trip to Saba, and had a great stay each time. The hotel is small (I think only 8 rooms) but I stayed in 2 different rooms, and each was unique, well appointed, clean. The hotel is very convenient to the airport (you can walk to/from the terminal if you don't... more

We have a time share in St.. Martin and are always keen to extend our trip. For several years we have shouldered at the Royal Turtle. It is fantastic. The rooms are quaint and filled with Caribbean charm. Our host Dwayne has become a steadfast friend over the years. We love having coffee in the morning as we look out... more

For 30 years we have been going to St. Maarten. After several years on the French side, last winter we went back to the Dutch side. We stayed 3 weeks at the Royal Turtle Inn. This little 8 room B&B was exactly what we were looking for. It is friendly, convenient, clean and the price is right. Friday evenings they... more

This is the place if you are not looking for a resort scene. Small hotel next to the airport ( closed at night). Very clean rooms, Dwayne (manager) will go out of his way to make your stay a pleasant one. Excellent free breakfast was included from the restaurant on site. The staff and food there was also very good.... more

We have stayed at the Inn several times. Usually extra days needed in addition to our timeshare stay. It is quaint and so cozy. It is well air conditioned. It has a little fridge to hold your drinks or other supplies. The bathroom is beautiful and is very clean. The unit is so clean. We do enjoy the breakfast that... more

I loved the Royal Turtle and the friendly staff. Nice large room overlooking pool & lagoon. Good restaurant & bar beside lagoon. Very close to airport, but not a nuisance and handy being able to walk to catch flight! As I checked out I rebooked for next December. more

We are a little late writting this THANK YOU to The Royal Turtle Inn or the " LITTLE HOTEL '" as we like to call it. We always check in a few days before our timeshare. We enjoy the hotel and the pool and the friendliness of the staff. Check in a breeze and a pleasure. Breakfast which is included... more
